Best for
  • Developers and teams who want to monitor and command AI coding agents from anywhere.
  • Users who need to run multiple long-running tasks with automatic crash recovery.
  • Users who prefer Telegram or Discord as their control interface.
  • Developers who want to integrate Telegram into MCP clients like Claude
  • Automation scenarios that need to manage multiple Telegram accounts
  • Building custom Telegram bots or workflows
  • Scenarios that require secure file operation path restrictions
Not for
  • Users looking for an officially maintained MCP server (AgEnD is not an official product).
  • Users who need native Windows support (only macOS and Linux are supported).
  • Users who want new features without breaking changes (new features are in pre-alpha agend-terminal).
  • Use cases requiring official Bot API features (this server uses a user client)
  • Non-technical users who want a fully managed solution
  • Multiple processes using the same session without lock management
Required permissions
  • All CLI backends run with --dangerously-skip-permissions (or equivalent), meaning agents can execute arbitrary code.
  • Access to the file system, network, and command execution is required.
  • Optional: Groq API key for voice message transcription.
  • Requires Telegram API ID and API Hash
  • Requires the user's Telegram session string (equivalent to account access)
  • Can send messages, media, contacts, and settings to any allowed chat
  • Can create or modify groups, channels, and chat settings
  • Can access and operate on the user's media files and contacts
Risks and side effects
  • Agents run with full permissions, posing security risks from mistakes or malicious instructions.
  • Cost risk: Without daily spending limits, agents might incur unexpected charges.
  • The project is in maintenance mode, so new features are not developed and vulnerabilities may remain unfixed.
  • Session string leakage could lead to account compromise
  • Sending messages may raise privacy or security concerns
  • Prompt injection: Telegram content may be maliciously crafted, so precautions are needed
  • Risk of using unofficial PyPI package name; avoid pip install telegram-mcp
  • Concurrent clients using the same session may cause AuthKeyDuplicatedError
